Pete, Thx for the candy store links. I'll definately get some from them although I sweared to my wife that I'll not turn our truck into a fighter jet like Joe. Erwin

Removing the radio might gain you sufficient clearance to get back there for switches.

I saw switches like that at Auto Zone yesterday. They have red and blue available.

Hello Shake-N-Bake,
Have you posted pictures anywhere of the metal cover plate that you fabricated for your dash? I'm going to do something similar and wondered how you approached this. Thanks.
